Class Preparation

Class Preparation

When reading a textbook, read through the assigned chapter quickly, grasping the main ideas. Then reread, highlighting key areas to facilitate review. When making notes, be sure to put into your own words.

Walk And Talk

Consider walking meetings, where you can walk while you talk. It will help break a sedentary lifestyle, stimulate thought, and reduce interruptions.

Within Reach

When laying out your desk area, make sure the frequently used items are within easy reach. If something is not used regularly or serves no functional purpose (photos etc.) it should not be on your desk.

Phone Placement

Position the phone for convenience and efficiency, not tradition. If you need more room on your credenza, table or desk, hang it on the wall or place it on a printer stand.

Timely Humor

I generally avoid temptation unless I can’t resist it.
- Mae West
